Container-processing system and method having safety-oriented management of settings for a container-processing system

A method for safety-oriented management of settings for a container-processing system which comprises at least one container-processing machine for processing containers, wherein at least one container-processing machine comprises a type memory, in which different setting-value data sets for a type of processing to be performed by the container-processing machine are stored and are selectable for processing the containers;

• wherein the at least one management device performs, for managing the storing of the setting-value data sets, the following steps:
• generating, in the event of creation of one of the setting-value data sets, a main version of the data set and assigning a status to the main version, wherein the status informs about the present editing situation of the data set, and wherein the status results from a situation which occurs when creating the data set until the current use of the data set in the production in the container-processing system;
• retaining the main version, in case a change is made to the main version without a change in the status, and to additionally create, for the change to the main version, a secondary version having the status of the main version;
• setting a scope of access to the main version and to the secondary version by an operator of the at least one container-processing machine in dependence on the status and a predefined authorization of the operator;
• and
• assigning to each newly created setting-value data set the status in which also to the operator, who has all authorizations to edit the data set, is displayed a note when editing the data set, the note indicating that the data set can cause damages to the at least one container-processing machine.
